I’m looking for something like Snikket or Prosody, but kids-oriented. I DON’T want my <10 daughter using Meta Messenger Kids! I’ll tell my friends to setup for their kids, too. I’d have no access to anything, so it’s secure (mom and dad not snooping per se), but the downside is minimal parental controls. Though, no one to really add either.
I’ll host or pay for it, IDC. It doesn’t seem like there is much out there either.
JusTalk seemed nice when I found out but apparently China owned and so no more secure. I/we need better options!
fwiw my daughter loves the stickers, GIFs and emojis in Signal.
Last I looked at “kid messengers” they were riddled with telemetry if not outright spyware. Something actually secure (if you don’t invite your bully to the group chat) is much better for children.
Really? I guess I’ve never checked for stickers or the like on Signal
Signal has built-in sticker packs, and you can add more. Here’s a directory of sticker packs for Signal: https://signalstickers.org/
